Chapman Bros Portrait and Biographical Record of Lafayette and Saline Counties, Missouri

Annotation

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. HE greatest of English historians, macaulay and one of the most brilliant writers of the present century, has said: The history of a country is best told in a record of the lives of its people. In conformity with this idea the portrait and biographical record of this county has been prepared. Instead of going to musty records, and taking therefrom dry statistical matter that can be appreciated by but few, our corps of writers have gone to the people, the men and women who have, by their enterprise and industry, brought the county to rank second to none among those.
